Closure

The RNLI decided to close the station in January 2011 after a review which recommended that lifesaving across The Broads would be more effectively covered from Great Yarmouth and Gorleston Lifeboat Station. Following the closure in November 2011, the station's D-class (IB1) and XP-class lifeboats were added to the RNLI's relief fleet and its 4x4 vehicle transferred to Great Yarmouth and Gorleston.[3][5]
